I.     CALL TO ORDER, President Stefanie Theis, 7:10pm


II.    WELCOME to everyone, especially guests Don Kossick and Bill
         Tasch from the Ann Arbor Downtown Kiwanis.


III.   HAPPY CENTS
         Happy Cents is a segment of the meeting when anyone can
         deposit change into our special "Jaria Jar" and have the
         opportunity to share something that makes them happy. This
         week, we heard that Whitney is excited about her birthday
         next month, Kristin just finished her first eight-page paper
         of college, Jenna just finished the same paper, Stefanie is
         glad her professor let her take her exam early so that she
         could come to this meeting, and Tracy got to wear her dress
         (because of the New Year's themed meeting).


IV.    MEMBERS OF THE MONTH
         The members of the month for November are:

              <> Mary Lemmer
              <> Jenna Dahn

         Congratulations!


V.     PROJECTS IN REVIEW
         Sarah Biedron told us about Bell Ringing at the Salvation Army,
         which has been a very rewarding experience thus far.  People
         have been very generous this season.


VI.    BIRTHDAY COMPETITION
         Every month we have a friendly competition to recognize
         birthdays, and this competition celebrated December and June
         birthdays. Contestants were asked a number of Christmas trivia
         questions, and this month, Alisha Opperman won the competition
         over Nick Hoffman and Whitney McEachran.


VII.   ROUNDTABLES
         We broke into groups to discuss various issues the club faces,
         such as meeting and social attendance, how to improve meetings,
         and how to make the website more user-friendly.


VIII.  UPCOMING PROJECTS
         In place of the Kiwanis Rummage Sale, there will be a Kiwanis
         Holiday Sale  this Saturday that needs Circle K-ers to help
         with ringing people up and organizing merchandise.  The CMU
         White Elephant Party is this Saturday; we will be going to
         CMU to participate in their white elephant gift exchange and
         make a home cooked meal. The Zingerman's tour is on Sunday,
         and we will be taken on a free tour of the creamery to sample
         cheeses and different flavors of gelato.

   How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

   Last week at Starbucks, Whitney and I overheard two girls talking
   about whether or not "chosen" is a word... Personally, I think it
   is, but I may be wrong.
